Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1 cup whole milk (or almond milk)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

½ teaspoon sugar (or maple syrup for sweetness)

8 slices of thick bread (Challah, Brioche, or sourdough work well)

1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for cooking)

Maple syrup (for serving)

Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Fresh fruit (e.g., berries or banana slices, for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and sugar (or maple syrup) until smooth and well combined. Ensure there are no lumps.

    Soak the Bread: Place the slices of bread into the egg mixture, allowing them to soak for about 2 minutes on each side. The goal is for the bread to absorb the mixture while not getting too soggy.

      Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or griddle, melt the butter over medium heat. Ensure it coats the bottom evenly to prevent sticking.

        Cook the French Toast: Once the butter is bubbling, carefully add the soaked bread slices to the skillet. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to cook the toast in batches. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and fluffy.

          Keep Warm: If cooking in batches, you can keep the finished slices warm in a preheated oven (low heat) while you finish the rest.

            Serve: Plate the French toast and drizzle with warm maple syrup. If desired, dust with powdered sugar and top with fresh fruits for added flavor and color. Serve immediately to enjoy the cozy warmth!
